System-wide network activity forecasting for performance improvement

Abstract

Described herein are automated hierarchical feed-back driven control mechanisms and methods, including an apparatus comprising a first circuitry, a second circuitry, and a third circuitry. The first circuitry may be operable to receive a system operating characteristic guidance. The second circuitry may be operable to provide one or more manufacturing characteristics. The third circuitry may be operable to store one or more system operating characteristics based upon the system operating characteristic guidance and the one or more manufacturing characteristics.
